Chapter 18: Embankments
The position of the prince has never had anything to do with the thoughts of King Qin and the imperial concubine. The only person who really decides the position of the prince is the emperor. All the King of Qin and the Emperor could do was to entrap the ministers and influence the emperor's thoughts at the court meeting.
Even if the King of Qin wanted the emperor to be the emperor, the emperor did not want the next emperor to be the emperor, and there was always a way to erase the position of the emperor.
Situ Ran couldn't say anything except lament that the emperor was ruthless.
This day and night, Situ Ran couldn't sleep peacefully, and spent the whole night thinking about the things at the night banquet. Thinking about the affairs of King Qin, the Imperial Concubine, and the envoys of Tipu, the more I thought about it, the more anxious I became.
Early the next morning, Situ Ran, who was still very sober, decided to go to the county lord's mansion after washing up and eating, and told Li Jiangwei all about these things.
Among all the people Situ Ran knew, only Li Jiangwei had a good personal relationship with King Qin and Huang Ji, and she was also the most suitable person to discuss this matter.
After Li Jiangwei personally fed the goose at home, she was ready to go back to the house to write. The Tianji Camp did not arrange a new task for Li Jiangwei, and Li Jiangyun was busy studying again, but it seemed that Li Jiangwei's life was very leisurely. leisurely made her can't help but take out "Overseas Lost" and prepare to fill in the follow-up content.
More than three years have passed since the completion of the first volume of "Overseas Traces". Many of the ideas have long been forgotten, and even many of the settings are completely unremembered.
Li Jiangwei needs to read the outline and setting of the past while reading the finished draft, and slowly find the feeling when writing "Overseas Lost". But I didn't feel like I could get it back at all, but the more I looked at it, the more upset I became.
I just read the beginning of the first volume of "Overseas Lost", and Lixin came to deliver a message, saying that Situ Ran came to visit. Li Jiangwei had no choice but to put down the book and ask Situ Ran to take him to the tea room, and she would go over later.
When Li Jiangwei entered the hall, she saw Situ Ran sitting nervously on a chair, his back slightly bent, and muttering with a teacup in his hand. It seemed that it was her own footsteps that alarmed Situ Ran, she looked up suddenly, and Li Jiangwei could even see that she was still wearing black green under her eyes.
"What's going on?" Li Jiangwei asked in surprise, she had never seen Situ Ran so embarrassed.
"Something big has happened!" Situ Ran said: "Do you know the news of the Tipu mission entering Beijing yesterday? ”
"Of course I do." Li Jiangwei said lightly, without a trace of expression on her face, "Yesterday, I went home to pick up the goose, and I happened to meet the King of Qin to welcome the Tipu delegation into Beijing. ”
In Situ Ran's impression, Li Jiangwei has always been a warm and gentle person, and she often has a faint smile recently. And Li Jiangwei, who I saw today, was a little indifferent. Coupled with what she said just now, Situ Ran felt that Li Jiangwei must have seen something and was angry.
"Rose...... Last night, in order to celebrate the entry of the embassy into Beijing and wash the dust for the mission, the emperor set up a banquet in the palace. My brother also went to ......"
Li Jiangwei sat down beside Situ Ran, her eyes lowered, and she sighed lightly and asked, "That Tipu princess, did you say something to King Qin?" ”
"Yes."
"Do you confess your love in public?"
Situ Ran was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes." ”
Li Jiangwei laughed at herself and sighed: "That's really the case." ”
When Situ Ran saw Li Jiangwei's appearance, he had already secretly cursed King Qin several times.
Situ Ran was furious, and said angrily: "Aren't you angry? You've got a rival now! ”
"You're not here for this?" Li Jiangwei smiled at Situ Ran and said, "I knew that the princess likes King Qin yesterday. His appearance and status are all first-class, and it is normal for someone to like him. ”
"You're still speaking for him at this time?" Situ Ran frowned, quite disgusted.
"He is a prince, and his identity itself restricts many of his actions. He can do what he likes regardless of it, but if he is so willful, then he is not the person I like. ”
"The emperor asked the king of Qin to entertain Prince Tipu and the princess, and he will stay in the palace of the king of Qin today. These two live under the same roof, and you're really not worried at all? You can trust King Qin, but how can you trust that princess? If the princess did something out of the ordinary to get the king of Qin, what are you going to do? ”
When she heard that the princess was staying in the Qin Palace, Li Jiangwei finally reacted. She didn't even notice that the hands on her knees were already grabbing the hem of her clothes.
"Well...... Wang Nu ......" Li Jiangwei said unconfidently: "I will never do anything to do it......"
"But do you know the purpose of the Tipu mission's entry into Beijing?"
"Isn't it for marriage?" Li Jiangwei asked suspiciously: "Since the Mosha tribe was wiped out by the Tipu tribe, the Tipu tribe can be called a monopoly in Suizhou, and Yunjing will also begin to be afraid of the strength of King Tipu. ”
King Tipu will not be able to completely digest the rest of the desert sand for a while, and the turmoil in the eastern region will not be completely quelled for at least five or six years, and King Tipu still needs the support of Yunjing.
If Yunjing became suspicious of them and wanted to deal with them, he wanted to deal with them. Then they can only be forced to give up their stable life and defect to the Ansmans.
King Tipu needed to prove his loyalty to Yunjing and his determination to fight the Anthmans. After pacifying Yunjing's side, he slowly subdued the rest of Mosha and expanded the power of the Tipu tribe in Suizhou. And Yunjing needs a Tipu King as a barrier to defend against the Ansiman people, and he will not easily force him to rebel.
King Tipu sent his daughter to Yunjing as a hostage, and he could create a win-win situation.
"If the emperor wants to control the Tipu tribe and stabilize the situation in Suizhou. Best to choose with loved ones...... It's the King of Qin......" Li Jiangwei felt that her mouth was filled with bitterness, "The princess likes the King of Qin, and those people in the palace should be happy to see it." ”
"You're not worried? Don't you like King Qin too? Situ Ran looked at Li Jiangwei's calm analysis of the situation and was very anxious, "Are you ready to watch the person you like marry someone else?" ”
"I'm just a county lord, what can I do?"
Situ Ran's white teeth bit his lower lip lightly, then took a deep breath and said to Li Jiangwei: "Why don't I let my brother seduce that princess?" It's really not good, let your brother go? Even if several adults in the palace intend to marry the princess to the king of Qin, as long as the princess likes someone else, they will not let the king of Qin marry the princess! ”
Situ Ran's words for her sake made Li Jiangwei, who was in a manic and depressed mood, suddenly feel good and laughed from the bottom of her heart.
"Thank you."
"You think I'm joking?" Situ Ran was dissatisfied with Li Jiangwei's attitude, and his voice suddenly became sharp, "My family is already urging my brother to marry a wife!" Whether it's a princess or a girl from another family, just bring it back! That's it anyway, so you might as well let him do you a favor! ”
Li Jiangwei asked helplessly, "Does Lord Situ know that you sold him like this?" ”
"Of course it's impossible to know!"
